Anything works fine, but no campaign access !!

Hi all,

please help me as I'm going realy crazy. I bought ArmA II DVD (in France), I loaded it on a HP Z600 (2 x Xeon E5520, 6 Gb, Quadro FX1800), with Win 7 x64); very stable PC.

Here is what appen : I can use very well Scenarios, Boot Camp, Armory. No pb at all. Do Scenarios & Boot Camp need to be all 'finished' and 'won' to gain access to Campaign ?

When I try to launch Campaing, I get sub-menu with Harvest Red, I select it, I clic on 'Continue' button (bottom right), Start appear (in the list and replace also the bottom right button), so, you guess ? I just clic onto it, then, the Difficulty panel appears, HERE is the bug :

-> anything I clic onto Difficulty panel and then Start button, I COME BACK to the Start menu panel !

And then I turn Difficulty -> Start -> Difficulty -> Start Difficulty -> Start Difficulty -> Start Difficulty -> Start Difficulty -> Start... and so on ! What a fun game, isnt it ?!

Going like a fool, like Michael Douglas in Falling Down !!!

So, I tried to uninstall / reinstall, I tried with no patch & with 1.05, I tried to modify rights on game folder, I tried all retro compatibility modes... as far as I know, I searched for campaign access troubles and... I found something only about ArmA (first). Not exactly the same case, but close to my case. Nothing anyway.

Thank's to all you could suggest me, I'd realy like to play campaign :-) ! ArmA II seams to be a realy good game, as OFP is (I still play OFP today).

Hi all again !

I know now why I had this so currious fact. My Win profile target the folder 'My Document' to a LAN Hard Drive (path like \\hard_drive\share\My Document). This is not good for ArmA II.

I solved this trouble with the tweak -profile explained here :

So I created a Profiles folder in ArmA's folder and I now launch the game with this :

"C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\arma2.exe" "-profiles=C:\Program Files\Bohemia Interactive\ArmA 2\Profiles"

Everything is working well.

Enjoy !
